2 Corinthians 11:16 - 33

Paul states (with his tongue firmly in his cheek) that those who wish to boast of accomplishments have nothing against him! He has been in numerous outstanding circumstances because of his stance for the advancement of the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Shipwrecked, beaten, abandoned, on the run from those wishing his destruction, fleeing from would-be assassins - Paul has endured it all. Why? So that the message of what God has done in Jesus Christ could be known by as many people as possible.
